["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas A. F. Thorne, thank you for reporting this and helping make
Ubuntu better. As per http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-
page.aspx?pid=4713#bios an update to your computer's buggy and outdated
BIOS is available (F6). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Xorg crash which returned me to my login screen

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This looked like the same thing as when Bug #1477574 and Bug #1477566
  happened just now.  I had Chrome, Terminal & Eclipse open on my Ubuntu
  PC and was focused on using my laptop via Synergy.  In my Synergy
  setup the Ubuntu PC is the server and the laptop is the client.

  As in the two bugs I mentioned, the Ubuntu machine seemed to reset
  back to the login screen.  Unlike the last time nothing complained
  about out of date packages this time.  I had not run the upgrade when
  this bug happened.  I have now updated however.

  Yesterday there was a power cut to this building.  I am starting to worry about my hardware integrity.  The previous software update I did was at 2015-07-22  08:15:01, some 29 hours before the first time I saw an issue and now I have hit the login screen twice in about 2 hours.
